description The paper analyzes the impacts of the advent of the Pacific Alliance in South American regional governance architecture in political, economic and strategic-military terms and its consequences on the South American regional integration process. The Pacific Alliance is perceived as a reaction to ongoing integration initiatives in the region, aimed at endowing these countries with greater autonomy in a scenario of increasing multipolarity and geopolitical uncertainties. The antagonism between regional integration projects, particularly between Mercosur and the Pacific Alliance, inexorably results in the fragmentation of South America, allowing the influence and action of foreign powers and contributing to the vulnerability and the weakening of the countries of the region, as well as acting as an obstacle to the solidification of the South American regional project. Thus, the geopolitical interests at stake in South America by extra-regional actors, notably the United States and China, are also analyzed.
